EuropeNovelChapter 1181:
Once they had ordered, Lawrence sat quietly, his curiosity growing stronger by the minute. “So,” he asked,
“what did you want to talk about?”
“We want to know what's going on with Kristian,” Melinda said plainly, her tone firm and serious.
Lawrence hesitated. He sat there, thinking.
They had every right to be concerned about their son. And if he wanted to stir things up, he could easily tell
them the truth just to upset Kristian. But he knew that would only make things worse for Kristian—especially in
the state he was in.
“Has something happened to him?” Lawrence asked, keeping his tone even and composed. He didn’t let a hint of
emotion show.
“Your relationship with Kristian hasn't exactly been close,” Isaac said, watching him closely. “But you've been
visiting him pretty often these past few months. If it weren't something serious—something health-related—you
wouldn't be doing that.”
“You're getting it wrong. It's true that we weren't close in the past, but after we ran into each other again in
Alerith, we got along really well. I've been visiting because | needed his help with something, that’s all.”
Isaac and Melinda didn’t say anything. They just sat there, watching him closely, trying to read between the

parents.
“You don’t believe me?” he asked gently, unsure of their reaction.
“No,” Isaac replied firmly, not even blinking.
Lawrence tried to keep his cool, though his heart was racing. “But... that’s really what's going on.”
“As his parents, we can tell something isn’t right with him,” Isaac continued, his gaze fixed on Lawrence. “If I'm
not mistaken, he hasn't been sleeping much—or eating properly—these past few months.”
Lawrence froze for a second, his thoughts tangling with worry, guilt, and confusion.
“We just want to understand what Kristian’s going through,” Melinda added, her voice softer but filled with
concern.

“It's not that | don’t want to tell you,” Lawrence finally said after a long pause. His walls were beginning to fall
away. “It’s that he askednot to.”
He'd never truly felt what it was like to be loved by his own parents. So now, seeing how much Isaac and Melinda
cared, he didn’t want to keep the truth from them.
